The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly / Fistful of Dollars print

Another print for a double feature in the Brew & View series at The Palace Theatre coming up next month. Really pleased with this one. Five colors...lighter brown, darker brown, metallic gold, black, and transparent creamy white. Here are some shots of the printing process.....

Setting up the first color....


Printing the first color....


Prints get hung on this line to dry.....




By the time the line is full the first prints that were hung up are dry enough to take of the line five or six at a time and stack on this shelf face down so they don't warp. Meanwhile, printing can continue starting back at the beginning of the line as the prints are removed......


Second color down....


Third color down. Metallic gold. It looks really weird in all the photos I took. It's not as yellow/orange in person and much more shiny....


Fourth color down....


Registering the last color....


Printing the last color....


Done!
